In the past few days since disaster struck in Haiti, we've been talking with Cameron Sinclair of Architecture for Humanity about how we at PK can help. Now, in coordination with PK cities around the world, we will in a big way. Shifting our already planned Feb 3rd event to the 20th will allow us to join as many as 200 other cities around the world to transform the global Pecha Kucha 'conversation' into real action. The line-up of presenters will be great. set aside some of that coffee money and "bring it"!

Hope the change doesn't muck-up your schedule, but it's important and we hope you'll get behind us in this endeavor. thanks for your continued support and we hope to see to on 02/20/10 - same place - Autodesk Gallery, One Market Street 2nd floor!

Wednesday February 3rd at the Autodesk Gallery located at One Market street, downtown San Francisco.

"YET"

Our theme this month is plump with anticipation of things hoped for and futures just over the horizon. Now a full decade into the 21st century, is it what you expected? What visions of this 21st century should be here by now? Without visions of what ought to be, how can we hope to get there? Join in and show us what our century should be about. Is it the future yet? Contact us below if you'd like to present. We need your help to make this another great show - now's your chance.

Hope you see you there! get the word out, let's kick off 2010 with a great show.

About Pecha Kucha San Francisco

It's time for the design talent in San Francisco to "See & Be Seen." So much design talent in San Francisco & so little exposure!

Here's the chance for you, designers of all kinds, to tell the world about YOUR big ideas! Break out of those pesky specialties, see what cool things are going on right here in town. Who knows you might just stimulate some cross-discipline collaborations & connections & maybe even get inspired in the process.

We have invited designers in product design, interactive media, illustration, fashion, graphics, film, architecture & landscape - virtual and real- to stand-up and show the world what they can do.

This is the San Francisco version of Pecha Kucha, originally created by Klein Dytham Architecture in Tokyo.

Rules and Format:

These are the basic rules for Pecha Kucha:

- Presentation: Each person shows 20 images. You have 20 seconds to show each image. You have no control over this. It will be programmed on a computer, so you should be fast and we recommend you practice your presentation.

- Naming: Name your images with your initials followed by consecutive numbers, i.e. PJ-001.jpg, PJ-002.jpg, PJ-003.jpg, etc. Please practice your presentation beforehand to make sure your slides are named correctly. Please follow the format, if you don't name your images correctly the computer will order them in a wrong way and it can affect your presentation. This also makes it easier for us to run the show and handle a large amount of images : )

- Sending: Once you have your images, please e-mail them to us (no later than a day before the event). We usually have a page with a preview image of each presenter before each event, so please also send us an image that you want for your thumbnail.

- Schedule: The doors open at 7pm (19:00) & the first presentation starts at 20:20.
